- At least the broken to not broken ratio is still in favour of not broken throughout the journey 😂
The whole monologue about how the song made me feel and what it made me think about. I don't think that is what the song is about but they were the feelings it brought up. I may not do the best job explaining that at the time due to the emotional reboot.

For a guy that has never uttered a word other than a couple of chuckles onstage, Vessel knows how to say things that hit bone. And the pain never completely leaves, even if it's more an ache with time than an open wound. This month it's been 4 years since my dad passed and once you mentioned losing a parent it unlocked those tears. They're not as close to the surface any more but it's still there and may always be. I'm grateful for music like this that keeps emotions like that accessible, even if it's painful. Reminds us we're human.
He saves all the words for when it matters! 😊 I am sorry to hear about your dad and I didn't mean to unlock those feelings! So much for making fun, lighthearted videos eh? I am grateful for music like this too though. I usually have a hard time with emotion, but not when music is involved. Different songs evoke different feelings and I will use them as needed. ST are falling in the "I need a cry" category quite often 😂
You’re spot on. It’s been 20 years exactly in 5 days since my mom passed. I was only 21. It hurts knowing we never had enough time. I’m sorry you’ve experienced this loss. It’s rough. ❤️
Love this song very much! It’s been almost a year that this month my 100-year-old grandmother passed away, and within a week of that my childhood tutor! Having them diagnosed with autism at the age of a year and a half, The second one hurts just as much as the first, despite having been very close with both!
I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve listened to this song over and over and over again since then! Songs like this are such a gift And I’m definitely reminded why that is every time I listen! 🖤🥀
"Oh God I wish you were here" hit me in so many ways and still breaks me down every time I hear it. I've lost most of the men in my life both my brothers within these last 3 years. My dad when I was 17 years old. The hurt sometimes is unbearable but music helps. Sleep Token has helped me heal myself and connect. Worship ❤
the "oh god i wish you were here" is such a primal shout from the soul. if you happen to shout it when youre alone in a car or the shower so much weight gets lifted off your shoulders. so many friends, family, and relationships damaged or gone forever with the things youve done or said to them can fill a space in an instant and that space is the heart. worship.
The way you looked into the camera after the “I am ugly I am inadequate I am lost” text… we knew that you could tell it was gonna be emotional.
Some of the deepest beauty of Sleep Token is that it is raw, vulnerable, and painfully relatable to those who have experienced a humbling life. The universal thread unites us all through how we grow through pain. Another great reaction.
That was definitely one of the moments that got me good. You could say the look was "a look of acknowledgement" to all the people who warned me about this one 😂
The words on the video get me every time
When I first heard the song, i was confused. Then I watched the video. I relate through chronic depression amongst other things, I didn't know how bad I needed the words in the video.
"I want, to want, to live, and so do you"
Just needed someone else to say it.
My 10 year old son (who is also a ST fan) told me that someday when I’m gone, he would get “Oh God I Wish You Were Here” tattooed for me. How something so innocent made me cry ugly tears that night… it made me remember how fragile life is, and how we should love our people to the fullest every moment.
An addition… to me, this was the first glimpse of Vessel as a human. He’s always been very mysterious and godlike - until this video. And it somehow hurts so much more.
🥹🥹 Your son sounds very sweet!
This song is so underrated too. Makes me sad. The “oh god I wish you were here” is crushing. And it’s so simple but not at the same time lol
The harsh emotion compared to the smoothness of the rest of the song is what does it for me!
I love the "from the room below live" version of this song. The entire audience yells that part together....it's beautiful.
@@tanasmom1969 yess
I struggle everyday with a core belief that I'm not good enough, and heartbreak has been a default emotion in my life. The words on the screen pierce me like little else. Combined with the song, I don't stand a chance of not becoming emotional watching it. It's two minutes that make me feel less alone while bringing up all the reasons I am alone. I need to write a strongly-worded letter to Mr. Vessel about pitting such conflicting things against one another while he vanishes into Alkaline.
The words did the exact same thing to me! The length of the song fooled me into a false sense of security! 😂
I lost my mom in march 2020, and my dad in march 2021, both quite near my birthday. I'll be 40 in a few days and it's been an insanely rough few years. I would give you a hug if I could. Music has helped me survive and want to live, especially Sleep Token. It helps us to connect with others and remember that none of us go through anything entirely alone. 🖤🖤
I am sorry to hear about your parents. If a hug were possible, I would enthusiastically return the favour! I am glad that you were able to find solace in music in some way, know that you are never truly alone! 🫂
This was my first time seeing the music video. I had to pause at the "i want to, want to live" as someone who has flirted with the feelings of not wanting to be tethered to the physical plane. And after recently talking to someone about how this band hasn't saved my life (because I did that,) but it has made me *Want* to live again.
You're exactly right about each person finding their own meaning and having their own experiences reflected back at them through this music.
As always, love the reactions. Please keep doing what youre doing.
this video makes me cry every single time. what a special band.
The song on this album that gets me the most emotional is Distraction. Which is still coming up! 🥹 but yeah. This one is heavy too. They have a way of pulling on our heartstrings and reminding us in suffering, we are not alone. Many have suffered and will suffer. And not everyone finds the strength to carry on. Yet still many do. Life is heavy and it is beautiful. Sorry for the loss of your grandpa. 💛
It is indeed, I still stand by what I said in a previous video and think the more stripped back songs will get me more emotional. The more instruments in the song, the more distractions I have from the lyrics and feel. (I hope that makes sense)
Thank you very much! 😊
Yessss
Distraction use to wreck me 😅
I'm also waiting for Distraction. It's one of my favorites but definitely hurts sometimes
I don’t like that you cry, but there’s something affirming about it, seeing someone feel the same emotions I feel as I listen to these songs.
I don't like it much at the moment either but I have to keep the reactions real 😂
The fortunate thing about Sleep Token and Vessel regarding the meaning of the lyrics of their songs, is that they mean one thing for Vessel but it can mean something else for you. He's pretty much indicated as such. "Be a living drama for your pain" and all. This one is a particular favorite of mine.
💜💜💜
To be fair, I don’t think *anyone* is ever truly prepared for this one.
I’m also gonna share something I was going to attempt to send you privately, but you mentioned time passing and wounds still being fresh, and this is… very related.
If you had posted this video yesterday (October 24th), I probably would have had a full on breakdown. Because yesterday was the 16 year anniversary of the day a dear friend of mine killed himself. I was only 18 at the time, and he was 16 (and he’ll *always* be 16). It has been nearly half of my life, and in August of next year he will have been gone longer than he was alive.
And even though it’s been 16 years-half a lifetime!-that wound is still there, and while it’s scabbed over, it still hurts. I’ve gone to great lengths to come to terms with his death, and while I accept that it happened, I also realized that I will never be okay with what happened. It may get easier to handle the grief and it may not be as fresh, but it will always, always hurt. There is no timeline on grief.
Bringing this back to Sleep Token, I think one of the best things about their anonymity and silence about their work is that we can project what we feel onto it and, more importantly, we can get what we need out of it. As Vessel said in the video: “let me serve as a living drama of your pain.” The lack of clarity about the meaning of their songs and the origin behind them allows us to take what we need from them, and I have seen so many different takes on different songs that are things I never would have thought of, but that meaning was what that person needed when they heard that song, and they got it. And I think that’s really special and something you don’t get from a lot of bands.
Anyway, thanks for coming to my TED Talk. We’re all here crying with you, buddy. If we are to be submerged, let us be submerged together. 💜
I am sorry to hear that but thank you for posting. That must have taken some strength to write!
Like you say, there is no timeline on grief and (no detail because they are their stories) I have a lot of people close to me who are early on in the eternal timeline for various reasons. It hits us all at different times in different ways.
Vessel and the band give the perfect canvas for us to project our pain onto and it works apparently!
Thanks for watching as always!
Should I start a discord server or something so you guys have a more private alternative?
@@BraindeadBreakdown I can tell you right now if you started one I know at least a few people who would join! And they’re fun ways to interact with creators 👍🏻 But totally up to you, my dude!
@@miss__anthropy I will keep it in mind for the future, one step at a time I suppose 😊
Be strong man, it gets better... After a while. I lost my mom when I was 26, I'm 40 now and it took me a good 10 years to accept it. Specially since it all happened so suddenly.
What I've learned in that time is that music can be a huge healer. I remember using sad songs to make me feel better. (Anathema's One Last Goodbye being a prime example) so I know how powerful music can be.
Sleep Token is very deep, it's probably what pulled me in from the beginning, around 2019 when I first heard Jaws and never looked back!
Thank you. I am usually quite good at dealing with all this but music really brings out the emotion in me, it isn't a gimmick here 😂
I am sorry to hear about your mum, I cannot even imagine and I don't want to bring it all up for you. Music will always be there to help heal, it might do a bit of tearing down first but it will always heal back up eventually 🤘
I have warned already warned my mum to not watch this one if she is sad!
I cried too. This one gets me. Im so sorry about your grandad. Im out of tissue, I offered you my shirt tail but it diesnt work that way. Give you mom a hug i think you both need one. 🖤
She has appreciates all the kind comments directed towards her, thank you! 😊
i know this was 8 months ago but just know im sending my love to you man stay strong you will find strength and love just keep going dont give up no matter the struggle
Loving your reactions man, love your emotions don't be afraid to hide them
I've cried so many fucking times listening to sleep token, whether its because its beautiful or it resonates with something painful
I wanna give you a hug 🫂 I love your honesty and openness that you share with us in your reactions. To me its what music especially containing lyrics is for. We all turn to it in someway when emotions are high or we want to remember a certain someone. I to have had more than my fair share of life throwing me lemons. Sleep Token & your journey makes me feel human xx 822 subs now fantastic
Thank you for being part of the group of people who make me feel comfortable enough to share. I honestly didn't think I would be crying on the internet this frequently and sharing details this fast 😂 The channel is growing faster than I ever thought too!
Lost my mom in 2007. I use to not care for this one, but it's crazy how long it took me to see the video, then oh damn it finally hit me. We're inching closer and closer to Telomeres, one of my all time favorites :D
I am sorry to hear about your mum! I can imagine that when this one hit you, it hit hard. I don't know exactly when that one is, but I know that I am nearing the last part of the journey!
Correction: It will be on Sunday 😊
Telomeres is my favorite 😍
Yeah this one is a toughie. High water into Missing limbs (the last two tracks of the record.) Have much the same effect on me that this song does. I think you hit the nail on the head when you mentioned how we as people can project our own loss and pain into the music. My story is a bit long winded but i came out of the experience with PTSD and a hospital stay, this album in a way, feels like a giant hug to people who have suffered. Vessel is an artist in the truest of forms.
I am sorry you had to go through whatever it was! I think you just hit the nail on the head as well, this music is a giant hug to people who have suffered. Well put!
I'm doing a bit better now, but as others have said time only really buries it and you learn to live without certain people. Cheers to you and your Mother! Definitely looking forward to the next one.
@@darkslayer1391 I am glad you are doing better! Thank you! 😊
much love for you and your family, my brother. worship.
This music video hits hard 😭😭😭 I can’t watch it without bawling!
I can see why! 😂
Just found your reactions, so good friend. Love it. Love.
Thank you so much! I hope your continue to enjoy them!
This song gets me so i don't listen to it often. Especially with the video 😢😢. I am the youngest of four siblings. I have lost them all and I am only 50. My middle sister drank herself to death. She had a lot of demons she battled, but un the end her liver failed. She was only 37, i was 34 at the time. Her death hit me so hard. She and i were closest in age, therefore we had so many of the same likes and dislikes. She was my best friend but it bothered me that I could not help her. The oldest of us was my brother he was 7 years older than me And he was a free spirit. He like to live by the seat of his pants, rather he was riding a motorcycle, down in Miami on South Beach having a ball with his friends, or hanging out at the clubs with his buddies. He's the one that got me listening to Metallica. Being the youngest I always looked up to my brother because he was the only boy in the group of us but I liked to follow him around as a kid. He moved out of the house when I was young so we were close but not too close. In 2016 I got a phone call from my father telling me to sit down. I was already sitting down so when he hit me with it it was like wow. Almost disbelief. My brother was 51 years old at the time and apparently had suffered a heart attack. My oldest sister was 6 years older than me so her and my brother were very close. His death hit her as hard as my middle sister's death hit me. She ignored some of the pain and symptoms she was having during the funeral and in her grief for my brother but she finally went to have a checkup and they diagnosed her the same year he died with pancreatic cancer. She died 7 months later on July 1st 2017. She had just turned 50. I am now older than both my sisters and it is so hard to get through some days without speaking to them. Fortunately I still have both my parents, my husband, and my daughter. And I pray everyday that to keep my parents with me a little longer, to at least let them see my daughter finish college. I'm just not ready to let go of them. Of course I don't think anybody ever is. I know how you feel about your grandpa, as my grandfather lived with us when I was a teenager and he also had pancreatic cancer. He is the reason I went into radiology. I helped my mother care for him at home during his last days. It is hard it's always hard to lose someone that you love. Even though it's been years I still cry and miss my siblings very much. This music by sleep token is so powerful that it makes you reminisce, relate, break down and then heal just by listening. One of the things that I really loved about this song though, is that vessel's voice is the instrument (Yes probably with synthesizers but still). His voice is so beautiful that it is an instrument on its own and that alone I believe makes this song so moving. Along with the message. Anyway enough of the heavy, enjoyed the video, looking forward to the next. Take care.
❤ W O R S H I P❤
Thank you for sharing but I am sorry to hear all that Nikki. Now I have a bit more understanding of why Sleep Token's music resonates with you so much! I won't go too much into detail as it is not my story to share but my mum cared for both her parents and I saw the toll it took on her.
Music will help us stay strong! (he says on a video where music made him weak)
❤ I just want to give you a hug. Everyone reads into the music something that relates to their own life experiences, so don't feel like you are getting the meaning "wrong." This song gets me every time. Hope you and your mum are doing well. Sending much love.
Thank you very much! I will pass it on even though I am sure she will see it. Apparently she browses the comments whenever she watches a video 😊
This song’s meaning changed for me when I saw the video so I agree seeing it is important. I had tears as I was seeing you get emotional as well. It’s a very powerful message and definitely one that can be left to interpretation. Worship 🖤
Not you as well! I am sorry for breaking y'all! It wasn't all my fault though, ST deserves some of the blame 😂
Definitely a heavy song ... Virtual hugs 🖤🖤
When I first listened to this song I didn't care for it. When I watched the video it completely changed my view on the song. While it's not a Playlist song, I enjoy it every time I do listen to it or watch the music video. Very emotionally devastating.
I can understand that, I don't think it would have hit me the same way if the video wasn't accompanying the music. I am glad I watched the video of this one!
@@BraindeadBreakdown thanks for taking my (I also assume others) advice.
This song is so beautiful in itself, but the messages in the words on the screen broke me a bit. Youre right, we interpret through our own pain, which is the intention of Vessel ❤ excited to be a passenger on your journey!
I think the words broke me more than anything! I glad you are along for the ride! Thank you 😊
It's amazing how this song speaks to so many people in so many ways. I like to think that he's speaking with himself, telling himself to love himself and let go of the past. To understand past experiences exist but that you can survive and you can love and love together with past and present.
Dude seeing you cry made me cry even harder than I normally do listening to this song 😭 🫂
I am sorry about that! If I saw a reaction like this it would probably break me too, you guys could have probably guessed that though 😂
@@BraindeadBreakdown no don’t apologize it was nice to not cry alone 😭
@@JadenGrosmanOfficial I can relate, recording all alone was fun! 😂
Power to you brother.
Beautiful song ,beautiful reaction.
Get ready for the next ones 🖤❤️✨
Hit home...what an understatement. It obviously hit you , as all of us. be proud friend, you get it.
I'm glad no one spoiled this one too much. It's the most vulnerable of all in my humble opinion. Really shows how much he connects with us as much as we do him. The last three to me could be the overall arc of a relationship just for context. 🤘🔥🤘❤️🫂
You got a new subscriber and oh boy am I crying right now. Love from Leeds x
Thank you for the sub! Sorry about the crying 😂
@@BraindeadBreakdown please don't apologise for crying, it shows you are human. Have a virtual hug from me
Only just found your channel through my sleep token journey. I needed to see other reactions to fall for me to see if they feel how I felt when I first watched fall for me. A few similarities hit me 1 being the loss I've suffered inc my grandad, my best friend recently 2 childhood friends and my heavy metal sister from another mam and mister all so very young. My grandad passed away a long time ago now I was 19. I lived with my grandad all the way until his last breath. I stayed by his bedside until he opened his eyes a tear fell then he went a memory etched in my brain I'm 47 now. I struggle to see men cry because I used to see my grandad cry poppy day. As for feeling other parts of thr lyrics just that feeling of inadequacy not good enough also made me relate to vessels lyrics. This man touches my heart, my soul my every being... New subscriber 😊
Based off your reaction to this song alone, I think youd genuinely enjoy checking out the interludes they've played at their shows this tour once you finish Take Me Back To Eden. I think it'll probably make you emotional, so no pressure to 'react' to it, but if you appreciate the messages he delivers I think you'd appreciate the interludes. The chances I've had to see them live have been some of the most emotional experiences of my life.
Thank you for the recommendation, I will check that out once I am done with the journey 🙂
This song gets me every time.I have dealt with depression and anxiety my entire life.I have tried to take my own life and thank God I was found and I am still here to love this beautiful life and enjoy incredible music from these guys and get to watch your awesome reactions.I think the song is about him asking God to save him and take away the pain and depression he lives with.The lyric at the end he says I am yours in the end so won't you fall for me makes me believe it's God.
Oh yeah! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Mate, watching you get emotional nearly broke me too. But then the combination of the song with the video always hits me hard. I once had my Sleep Token playlist on random and had The Way That You Were, followed by Fall For Me, followed by another song in a similar style from TMBTE, I won't name it as you have not heard it yet, and I was a wreck by the end of it! Stay safe 🤘 ✌️
I hope it was still enjoyable 😂 That is a unfortunate shuffle! Especially if you are in the middle of doing something. Thanks for watching as always Brian! 🤘
Brian, you are not alone. The song that shall not be named ( Harry Potter anyone 😂😂😂)
Gets me cuz it reminds me of my daughter, but it's still beautiful and I love to listen to it. My daughter always skips it tho. I think it reminds her of the past, but she's in college now and doing well. But I can imagine other possibilities when I listen to some of ST and the obvious emotions it pulls from you. Makes me grateful for what I have. ✌️
Worship
Condolences for your Granddad. Last time i commented i asked if you are ok and it was genuine, not enough people care for each other these days. I loved my Granddad, he was a funny chap, you got this feeling that he knew he did his part in life and in his remaining time he just wanted to be a warm shoulder for his family. Im seeing my dad turn into that now, I feel it getting closer. You're awesome, and if you hadnt shared, i wouldnt have thought as much of it. Thank you. Youre a great personality by the way
This video is definitely a hit to the soul
Dude holy fuck this song hadn’t really hit *this* hard for me, but it’s got a new connotation to it now that I won’t be able to shake for a while. The 20 year anniversary of my own mother’s passing is in 5 days. It’s the hardest loss I’ve ever endured, and I’ve had to endure a lot of death in my family.
It makes my heart happy that you’ve got your mother and even more stoked that she’s subscribed. I’d give ya a big ole hug if I could. Thanks for sharing your humanity. ❤️
Certain songs can bring back less than savoury memories but (imo) they also help us cope with the losses and sometimes, even help honour those we have lost when it is too hard to do it any other way 🫂
This one hit different, but seeing it in context with the video, it’s such a heart crushing piece. Painful..
Vessel decoded my soul in 2.5 mins.
There are Fight Club style subliminal messages in this video. Lovely man 😊
I could tell but they were very hard to keep track of through the tears! 😂
@@BraindeadBreakdown😍
Love your reactions and love you too bro. I'm glad you connect so well with their music. It's beautiful to see and you're a beautiful person for sharing this with us.
Thank you so much! It is amazing to see that so many people are enjoying my humble opinions and reactions! 😊
I'm so glad your found in order and through the albums. Can't wait for you to listen to all of Take me Back to Eden
Thank you for finding your way through the channel to them! 😊
I feel this. It's been a year of death and loss for me. Pets, people, it doesn't seem to matter, it all just snowballs in on me and I feel like the only time I can authentically let things out is with this music. A week after Bring Me Back To Eden my cousin ended his life, and "are you okay" hit so damn hard after that. I was a puddle trying to comprehend how he could leave his children like that but then I think of my battle with suicidal thoughts and I feel even worse. I said it in other places but A Perfect Circle saved my life and Sleep Token makes me feel alive.
I know where you are coming from. I have experienced similar things and the amount of thoughts that fly are crazy and unwelcome. I am glad that you found A Perfect Circle and Sleep Token!
This song music video combo is everything. Easily one of my favorites by them
Vessel used FALL FOR ME
It's super effective!
Jokes aside, it hit me like a ton of bricks!
It's a disproportionately heavy song by stealth. Thanks for expressing what we all feel.
2nd watch. Wish i could like this twice.
3:41 sound like a love. Not a love song 😭😭😭
❤❤❤
🖤🫶🏻
I basically cannot watch the video for this song - it hurts so much worse than the song on its own 🙃
I had to stop watching and have cry. It reminds me of my only love. She was killed in a car accident 5 minutes after leaving my house to go home. Drunk driver
That is terrible! I am so sorry to hear about that. I can understand why this would effect you 🫂
@@BraindeadBreakdown it was in 1994. It threw me into depression and such anger that no matter what I could do wouldn’t bring her back. I started drinking and got deep into drugs. None of it ever worked to erase the memory of her. It isn’t suppose to be erased. It’s meant to be glorified and felt. Im sober now. As the years go by I still pine for her. We were in love. The depression has never left but it’s manageable now. It made me overly protective and toxic. I’ve dealt with those issues and it’s a battle. I never talk about this but this reaction helped me open up at this moment. Thank you for sharing.
@@aarontrudeau3257 Thank you for sharing. It has been quite humbling seeing the amount of people that have sharing their stories
@@BraindeadBreakdown we’re not alone like we may think we are at times. I just survived stage 4 cancer. My problems have become luxuries. I was suppose to die by August and here I am. I wasn’t suppose to be around to experience these issues. Like I said. They are a luxury
Jesus loves you more than you could ever know. Accept him and he listens to you. Any of you. He has conquered death. There is more than just this world. Go to him he waits for you.
Amen🙏
I had to save this video until I had time to really sit down and enjoy every minute.
"I've led a very humbling life..."
Worship hug 🫂
